Social media marketing for dummies

             When I come to a stop in the road, and know my site, needs more traffic I begin to come up with new ways to direct traffic to my website,blog,or whatever I may need traffic for. One of the biggest helps I have had in doing so is social Media marketing. Social media marketing is a huge play in the current means of gaining traffic. I'm not claiming to be a millionaire from the internet, but my methods have worked time and time again.

Here Im going to show you one of the first ways I begin to market to my target demographics. If you continue to follow this blog there will be more and more released as time goes on.


                                                   Social Media Event planning
                                                    AKA the Facebook shuffle 
Step 1: 

Come up with a marketing idea, find a way to draw viewers with an event. I often do $15.00 gift card options if people invite 1000 friends, I also do a free facebook marketing header on my page if someone brings 500 friends to an event page.  Having tactics to base off of is a huge way to begin a buzz.

Step 2:

Make an event on facebook inviting friends and family to your page, website, whatever it may be.  Always be sure to make the event name catchy so people will be more likely to open and accept the invite. Discounts on store items if you are a business often helps as well.


Step 3: 

Pass event page in personal messages to fans, friends and more. Ask for their support in spanning out your mission. Twitter,instagram, facebook, and even myspace are all good platforms to base off of.
